Huelgas Ensemble & Aposiopée

Anonymus

Predictably Paul van Nevel deviates from trodden paths with a view to exploring the unknown. He surprises us with a programme of exclusively anonymous masterpieces from choir books in libraries from Brussels, the Vatican, Munich, London and s-Hertogenbosch. The unpublished works he transcribed himself. Around the 8-part Missa miserere mihi domine he built a programme of such religious and profane compositions as Cueurs desolez, O salutaris hostia … The singers of Huelgas Ensemble are augmented with the Paris chil- drens choir Aposiopée. Wonder and revelations are guaranteed in this programme which goes to prove that what is unknown can also become cherished.
